MONTROSE TWP., MI -- A resident called in a tip to Troy police that they saw a vehicle pictured in a flier that was passed out in the area earlier this week, according to Troy Police Capt. Robert Redmond.

Police are searching for the body of a 55-year-old Patrick Mikes Sr., who they believe was killed in his Troy basement. His son, of the same name, is a suspect.

The search started around 7 a.m. Friday and police were searching an area around Lake and Seymour roads, according to scanner traffic. Cadaver dogs were used, Redmond said.

Police did not find anything, he said.

Redmond declined to say what led police to pass out fliers in the Montrose Township area in the first place.

Redmond said police are searching in other areas as well, but declined to say where.
